Book Description
Web Penetration Testing with Kali Linux - Third Edition reveals you the best ways to set up a lab, helps you comprehend the nature and mechanics of attacking websites, and discusses classical attacks in fantastic depth. This edition is greatly upgraded for the most recent Kali Linux modifications and the most recent attacks. Kali Linux shines when it concerns client-side attacks and fuzzing in specific.

From the start of the book, you'll be given an extensive grounding in the ideas of hacking and penetration screening, and you'll see the tools used in Kali Linux that connect to web application hacking. You'll get a deep understanding of classicalSQL, command-injection defects, and the numerous ways to exploit these defects. Web penetration testing also requires a general summary of client-side attacks, which is rounded out by a long conversation of scripting and input validation flaws.

There is likewise a crucial chapter on cryptographic application flaws, where we talk about the most recent issues with cryptographic layers in the networking stack.

The value of these attacks can not be overemphasized, and preventing them is relevant to most internet users and, naturally, penetration testers.

At the end of the book, you'll utilize an automatic technique called fuzzing to recognize defects in a web application. Lastly, you'll gain an understanding of web application vulnerabilities and the methods they can be exploited using the tools in Kali Linux.
